I personally feel, stuffing vegetable is an art.. Just few spices , some flavourful ingredients and it will take vegetable to another level.

INGREDIETNS:

500 gm Fresh Tender Okra /Bhindi/Ladies Finger

5-6 tbsp Oil

2/3 tsp Asafoetida

A Pinch of Turmeric

A Pinch of sugar

Some Fresh Coriander, finely chopped

To make Stuffing:

2/3 cup Gram Flour (Besan)

3 tsp Sesame Seeds

2 tsp Fennel Seeds

1/2 tsp Dry Mango Powder (Amchur)

1/2 tsp Chaat Masala ( I used Catch Masala)

2 tsp Red Chilli Powder

1 tsp Turmeric Powder

2 tsp Coriander Cumin Powder

1/2 tsp Roasted Cumin Powder

Salt

3 tsp Dry coconut , Shredded.

2-3 tsp Oil

METHOD:

Wash and clean Okra. Remove head and tail. Split into two halves. Keep aside. Always Choose fresh and Tender Okra, so seeds wont be much inside. Here, i have cut okra into two, one can also stuff okra with this stuffing.

In a non stick pan, take oil . Allow it to heat nicely. Add asafoetida and Okra. Sprinkle some Salt ( Be care ful as we have added salt in stuffing too ) , turmeric powder and Sugar. Mix well. Cover the lid and allow it to cook completely. Stir occassionally. As its cut into halves, it wont take more time to cook. Once done , add stuffing Masala. Mix well. If needed sprinkle 1 tsp water . Cook for more a minute .

Looks so delicious Ruchi! Definitely going to make this soon:) That roasted colour & the masalas looks to tempting !!!I make a stuffed bhindi too, learnt it from my grandma.. slightly different recipe but does involve besan as well:)
Thanks for sharing 🙂

This sounds amazing and bhindi is my absolute favorite veg dish. A bit overwhelmed about the idea of stuffing them but maybe I should just dive in. A friend gave me some stuffed karela over ten years ago and they were so amazing that I still dream of them!
